Meyer Sound’s ULTRA-X40 and ULTRA-X42 designs continue the tradition
of the highly successful UPA loudspeakers—so versatile they have been
a universal standard in almost every application for over 35 years. From
touring performances to theme parks, worship venues to theater shows,
and lecture halls to large scale concerts, Meyer Sound technology has
delivered exceptional fidelity with high power, low distortion, and uniformly
predictable behavior.
To this legacy, Meyer Sound incorporated technology from the popular
and award-winning LEO® Family of loudspeakers to bring multiple
enhancements to bear in the ULTRA-X40/42 designs:
• Innovative, highly efficient class D amplifier and advanced signal
processing that reproduce any sound source with linearity over a wide
dynamic range.
• Weight reduction of 25 lb (11 kg), as well as a reduction in overall size
compared to the UPA loudspeakers for increased power to weight
and size ratios.
• Concentric driver configuration with all the benefits of a coaxial driver,
yet none of the disadvantages. In addition, this configuration supports
directional control of frequencies down to 400 Hz.
• Extremely well-behaved, rotatable horns designed for very precise,
even coverage. These horn designs, in conjunction with the
concentric driver configuration, deliver consistent patterns despite the
orientation.
With these enhancements, the ULTRA-X40/42 loudspeakers provide high
power output, low distortion, and consistent polar response in a more
compact, vented enclosure. The ULTRA-X40 loudspeaker features two
8-inch cone low-frequency drivers and one 3-inch diaphragm compression
driver coupled with a rotatable 110° x 50° Constant-Q horn. A more
controlled pattern is available on the ULTRA-X42 model, which is fitted
with a 70° x 50° constant-Q horn.

Because of its proprietary, high-frequency horns, the beamwidth remains
consistent within close tolerances in both the horizontal and vertical planes
and across the horns’ operating frequency range. Uniformly predictable
polar behavior takes much of the guesswork out of system design and
assures optimal system performance.
A proprietary three-channel, class D digital power amplifier powers
the ULTRA-X40/42 loudspeakers, which each have a total peak power
output of 1950 watts. Advanced audio processing includes electronic
crossover, correction filters for phase and frequency response, and driver
protection circuitry. Phase-corrected electronics ensure flat acoustical
amplitude and phase response, resulting in exceptional impulse response
and precise imaging. The amplifier/processing package incorporates
Meyer Sound’s IntelligentAC™, which auto-selects the correct operating
voltage, suppresses high voltage transients, filters EMI and provides
soft-start power-up. The ULTRA-X40/42 cabinet provides audio XLR and
powerCON20 input and looping output connectors.
The optional RMS™ remote monitoring system module provides
comprehensive monitoring of loudspeaker parameters from a host
computer running Compass® software.
Meyer Sound builds the trapezoidal enclosure out of premium multi-ply birch
with a slightly textured black finish. A powder-coated, round-perforated
steel grille provides protection to the front of the loudspeaker.
The ULTRA-X40/42 includes 11 integral M8 rigging points. It also includes
an integral 35 mm stand mount receptacle with M20 threads for added
stability. With this versatile integrated rigging, the ULTRA-X40/42 is ready
for a wide variety of applications including those requiring pole mounting,
hanging individually in horizontal or vertical orientations, or clustering.
Optional rigging accessories include an adjustable 35 mm pole with M20
slug, a U-bracket, a yoke, a pinnable link on a channel that allows the
hanging of multiple units from a single pick-up point, and cluster plates
for horizontal and vertical loudspeaker grouping. Other options include
weather protection and custom color finishes.

ACCESSORIES AND ASSOCIATED PRODUCTS
MCP50-X40 Cluster Plate: The MCP50-X40 50 Degree Cluster Plate kit includes two cluster plates to facilitate installation of ULTRA-X40/42 loudspeakers in both
horizontal and vertical clusters at angles between 10 and 50 degrees in 5 degree increments. The kit includes eight M8 bolts and eight M8 knobs. The MTC-X40 Top Channel
accessory (sold separately) can be attached to the MCP50-X40 as a top pick up point.
MCP70-X40 Cluster Plate: The MCP70-X40 70 Degree Cluster Plate kit includes two cluster plates to facilitate installation of ULTRA-X40/42 loudspeakers in both
horizontal and vertical clusters at angles between 40 and 70 degrees in 5 degree increments. The kit includes eight M8 bolts and eight M8 knobs. The MTC-X40 Top Channel
accessory (sold separately) can be attached to the MCP70-X40 as a top pick up point.
MPK-POLE-35MM-M20 Adjustable Pole Mount: Adjustable length 927–1524 mm (36.5–60 in), 35 mm (1.375 in) pole with assisted lift. Lower shaft fits 35mm cups
or use the removable M20 threaded lug for added stability. Upper shaft includes a PAS-M20 Adapter Sleeve to fit loudspeakers with 35mm and M20 internal pole mounts
onto a 35 mm speaker stand. (Can also buy the PAS-M20 Adapter Sleeve separately). Additional 35 mm to 38 mm (1.5 in) adapter included.
MTB-X40 Top Bracket: The MTB-X40 Top Bracket kit includes a heavy-duty, U-bracket style accessory that facilitates mounting of ULTRA-X40/42 loudspeakers from
the ceiling or a truss using the cluster plates. The design supports 5–25 degrees of downtilt and 5 degrees of uptilt. In addition, the MTB-X40 Top Bracket enables mounting
of a single ULTRA-X40/42 onto the floor for front-fills. The kit includes four M8 bolts and four M8 knobs.
